Quote from: Josquius on Today at 06:54:01 AMAs said I do think the difference is between is it the person themselves being a problem or is it people who have decided they're a problem.
You have a worker who has a habit of shouting the n word at people- yeah...better fire him. Thats just good business practice.
You could say its a no brainer and there's no real choice there, but it is still your free will in firing him.
On the other hand you've somebody who seems fine but who a group on the internet have decided they really don't like and claim is an anti-semite with minimal out of context proof...then its their push which is far more behind this than any potential risk of the worker mistreating Jewish customers.
Its still down to you to pull the trigger. But the consequences of not doing so are completely out of your control. You can't just sit down with the worker and get them to apologise and promise not to say any offensive words going forward as you might have had a chance with the first guy. The wheels are in motion with the pressure group.
As you say free will is a continuum and not a black and white thing. But I'd say the more abstracted something gets from the reality on the ground the more free will is removed .

they are raising the exemption threshold so that is good.
They are taxing more the sale of rentals and secondary homes, so that is good.
The rest, I'm not sure of what I'm reading.
Quote from: HVC on Today at 02:49:04 PMIn theory your RRSP is taxed at a lower rate when you retire because you're in a lower tax bracket. So you reduce your tax burden when you're working and get lower taxed income when you retire. That doesn't always work out, especially as life gets more expensive and people live longer.
Quote from: Josephus on April 17, 2024, 10:11:05 PMMy RRSPs will also be taxed when I retire. So I'm not gonna worry too much about a business owner being taxed on his million dollar business he sells when he retires.
Quote from: HVC on Today at 04:02:14 PMTFSA works like that. Qualified investments using TFSA don't incur tax either.
